Reborn in 1990: My Grandpa Is the Village Chief

Period setting + scheming protagonist + business + wish fulfillment

In his previous life, the village chief’s son bullied Li Wen his entire life.

Reborn in this life, Li Wen helps his grandfather become village chief, and he plans to be the village chief’s grandson with clout.

In the village, his grandfather is number one and he’s number two. He walks with a swagger, looking down on everyone.

He builds roads and bridges, and every family gets a new house. Li Wen is the man behind his grandfather, the village chief.

Through profiteering, no, through sharp business instincts and just a little bit of sweet-talking,

Li Wen deftly brings resources together: the sand barons along the Yellow River, the county’s rich kids, the province’s rising business stars, the big shots in the capital...

They all follow Li Wen’s lead.

Just as he’s feeling invincible, the old man says, “Why don’t you come back and be village chief?”
